Climate Forecasting Simulations

World's climate is currently changing due to the increase of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Climate fluctuations are forecasted for the years to come. For a proper study of the incoming changes, numerical simulations are needed, using general circulation models of a climate system.

As for most applications the team is targeting, our goal is to thoroughly analyze climate forecasting applications to model its needs in terms of programing model, execution model, data access pattern, and computing needs. Once a proper model of the application has been derived, appropriate scheduling heuristics could be designed, tested, and compared.
